Spectroelectrochemical Characterization of the Dynamic Carbon Fiber Surface in Response to Electrochemical Conditioning
LANGMUIR, 33(32), 7838–7846.
TL;DR:
The data demonstrate that the carbon-fiber microstructure is dynamic, able to quickly and continuously undergo rapid structural reorganization as potential is applied, repeatedly alternating between a relatively ordered state and one that exhibits greater disorder in response to applied electrochemical potentials that span the range commonly used in voltammetric experiments.

Prediction of Intrinsically Caused Tripping Events in Individuals With Stroke
IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON NEURAL SYSTEMS AND REHABILITATION ENGINEERING, 25(8), 1202–1210.
Contributors: F. Zhang n, P. Bohlen n, M. Lewek * & H. Huang n
author keywords: Fall prevention; gait; prediction; stroke rehabilitation; trips
MeSH headings : Accidental Falls / prevention & control; Adult; Aged; Aged, 80 and over; Feasibility Studies; Female; Gait; Gait Disorders, Neurologic / diagnosis; Gait Disorders, Neurologic / etiology; Gait Disorders, Neurologic / physiopathology; Humans; Male; Middle Aged; Monitoring, Ambulatory / methods; Pattern Recognition, Automated / methods; Reproducibility of Results; Sensitivity and Specificity; Stroke / complications; Stroke / physiopathology; Stroke Rehabilitation / methods
TL;DR:
It was shown that it was feasible to predict intrinsically caused trips around 50–260 ms before ICTs occurred in the swing phase by monitoring lower limb kinematics during the preceding stance phase, and this may lead to further proactive engineering mechanisms for ICT avoidance and therefore reduce the risk of falls in individuals with stroke.

It's positive to be negative: Achilles tendon work loops during human locomotion
PLOS ONE, 12(7).
MeSH headings : Achilles Tendon / physiology; Adolescent; Adult; Humans; Locomotion; Young Adult
TL;DR:
The objective was to compute tendon work loops and hysteresis losses using these two Direct tendon kinematics estimates during human walking and found that Direct estimates generally resulted in negative work loops, suggesting that Direct approaches provide more plausible estimates than the Indirect approach, and may be preferable for understanding tendon energy storage and return.
